Golden Boy Champions League winner with Manchester United looks unrecognisable without iconic hairst

Former Manchester United star Anderson looks almost impossible to recognise after hanging up his boots.

Golden Boy winner and Real Madrid talisman Jude Bellingham will get his hands on the prize on Monday night.

And Anderson, who won the 2008 edition of the prize, now looks completely different from when he picked up the famed trophy and no longer sports his trademark dreadlocks.

Instead, he has had a shaved head since retiring from football in 2015 at the age of just 31.

The Brazilian has had a stellar career, spending eight years at Old Trafford under Sir Alex Ferguson's guidance, picking up various honours along the way.

Having joined the Red Devils from Porto for £25million in 2007, he got his hands on four Premier League titles between 2007 and 2013.

The midfielder also managed one Champions League triumph, netting against Chelsea in the penalty shootout in Moscow back in 2008.

In all, Anderson managed 105 Premier League appearances and 181 outings across all competitions, netting nine goals.

After his time in the English top flight, he headed home, joining Brazilian side Internacional in 2015, where he spent three seasons.

He then opted for a move back to Europe, linking up with Turkish side Adana Demirspor before calling time on his illustrious career.
